  Vanilla Glaze:

  Pumpkin Spice Glaze:

• 1/4 C. Powdered Sugar

• Pinch of Ground Cloves
• Pinch of Nutmeg
• Pinch of Ground Ginger
• Pinch of Cinnamon

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375ºF and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly coat with some non-stick cooking spray. Set it aside.
2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, sugar and sweetener until well blended. 
3. Add in the butter until the mixture resembles the grainy texture of cornmeal.
4. Add in the milk, egg, pumpkin puree, greek yogurt, vanilla and the spices.  Combine together until a smooth dough has formed.
5. Scoop the dough out onto a floured surface. Form the dough into a half inch tall circle - about 6 inches across.
6. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet and carefully cut the dough into 12 wedges (as best you can anyway - they don't need to be separated completely.) 
7. Place in the oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the edges are turning golden brown and the middle is set.
8. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before transferring to a wire rack to continue cooling.
9. While you're waiting, mix together the ingredients for each glaze separately.
10. Once the scones have cooled, drizzle evenly with the vanilla glaze followed by the pumpkin spice glaze.
11. Cut and serve warm with butter or cream and a pumpkin spice latte!
